This chapter is finally up :) Finally had time do to it.

Thanks for sticking with my story people!

We neared the Cullen house, it was tiny compared to where the Volturi stayed, but then again, there were a lot more vampires in the Volturi guard than the Cullen coven. We started to slow down to a relaxed trot, then stopped completely 5 meters away from the front steps. Hoping that Edward got my message, I breathed loudly and unnecessarily while Alex squeezed my hand once again. However, I didn't have to wait for long. Edward slowly opened the door and stepped out, followed closely by Carlisle.

"Jane." Edward stated in a monotone, "You came to us?"

"Yes," I nodded, not taking my eyes off him, unsure of what to tell him. He was intently staring at me, and I knew he was scanning through my thoughts. I supplied him with a detailed recall of the whole scene in the forest with the Volturi. Once I was done, he nodded, but still did not invite me in. Instead, he stepped aside for Carlisle to speak to me.

"Hello," he said calmly, smiling gently. He was always too nice for his own good. "Welcome, what brings you here?"

I looked at my brother, for once I was lost for words and needed my Alec to back me up.

"We have come to learn your ways," he spoke clearly, after glancing at me, "Jane and I have been experimenting with different diets such as yours, and we would like to ask you how to do it properly."

Carlisle glanced at Edward, who nodded.

"Come in then," Carlisle held the door open for us, and we cautiously walked through.

Once inside, all I saw was a clear, bright and spacious room with a bright white couch in the middle, facing us. On the couch sat Bella, Alice, Jasper and Esme, all staring at me with wide, uncertain eyes. Off to the right corner, Emmett and Rosalie were standing, holding each other but also staring at me curiously. I caught a scent of wet dog, and saw Jacob, the alpha wolf crouched down in the hallway, staring at me as if he was ready to attack.

"Hi." I said, my voice a little higher than usual. What was happening to me? I never got nervous.

When I received no answer, I continued. "Well, Edward probably told you all why I am here, but I'll just say it again I guess. Alec and I left the Volturi... and we now have nowhere really to go. We were wondering if we could stay with you for a bit?"

"Stay with us?" A high, sweet voice chirped.

I swivelled around to my left, and saw who I had been looking for. A small girl with perfect, ivory skin and rosy cheeks. Brown, curly hair that trailed down to her waist. Chocolate brown eyes, and that steady heartbeat.

"Renesmee," I whispered, "I'm so sorry."

She just continued to stare at me with those gentle, heartwarming eyes. Still looking at me, she said, "Momma, I thought Daddy just said they were going to ask us a few questions. I didn't know they were going to live with us."

I looked at Bella, who started speaking, "Nessie, why don't you go hunting with Jake? I'll tell you whats going on later, I don't even know yet right now, okay?"

Renesmee took her eyes off me, looked at Bella, then Jacob. "Okay," she shrugged, and the 2 of them were off.

Once she was out of the house, Bella looked at me, "Jane, Alec, are you sure you want to stay with us?"

"Well," I started, "I don't really want to be a burden to you guys, we just want somewhere to call home you know? And someone to call.... family?"

Emmett hissed, "Family?"

I looked at him, pleadingly, "Please---"

"Please what?" He interrupted me, "You wanted to kill us all just a month ago, and now you want us to call you our family?"

He started walking forward, his hands in fists, but Rosalie was holding him back. She knew what I was capable of and she didn't want to see Emmett get hurt, but she was still mad at me.

"Jane," she hissed, "We don't want ANYTHING to do with you ok? You wanted to kill a baby! Why would we want you in our family?"

"Stop," a calm voice said behind me. I looked around to see Edward. "Her intentions are true. She isn't who she was a month ago."

Carlisle stepped in as well, "Jane, Alec, we will let you stay. As long as you do not go back to your old ways. If you give up the vegetarian diet however, we will not ask you to leave, but we will demand you to not hunt in the area. We do have a treaty to keep."

I nodded, grateful. "I will not abuse this second chance, thank you so much Carlisle, Edward."

Rosalie and Emmett continued to glare at me, but Alice and Jasper smiled, welcoming me. I smiled back, and looked at Bella, who did not smile, but did not glare either. She just looked at me, her features expressionless, stood up, and ran out the back door. We all stood there silently, awkwardly. A few seconds later, Bella returned with Jacob and Renesmee. Bella still expressionless, Jacob looking fiercely at me with narrowed eyes, and Renesmee innocently looking at me, slightly disappointed.

She waited a few seconds before speaking with a quiet, scared voice, "So you are staying?"
